traditional policy field Air Pollution: the acidification of soil and water by pollutants such as sulphur oxides‚ nitrogen oxides and ammonia; the damage to buildings sensitive to the same acidifying substances; the formation of tropospheric ozone from so-called ozone precursors‚ e.g. volatile organic compounds‚ nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide which indirectly affect human and animal health and vegetation; direct effects on human health and ecosystems e.g. through high atmospheric concentrations

particles are combined together they work like a blanket to trap the sun’s heat and make our planet warmer. Industries release pollution that can react with ultra violet light‚ which is the highest in the light spectrum‚ to create lower level ozone. Ozone increases light as a heat source‚ meaning that more heat is trapped on the earth’s surface. This heat contributes to Global Warming. The growth of big cities has an impact on Global Warming. It isn’t only that forests are removed from the environment

soils. This will adversely affect the nutrients in the soil and water bodies. This can result in algae growth in lakes and water bodies‚ and make conditions for other living organism harmful. Ground-level ozone: Chemical reactions involving air pollutants create a poisonous gas ozone (O3). Gas Ozone can affect people’s health and can damage vegetation types and some animal life too. Particulate matter: Air pollutants can be in the form of particulate matter which can be very harmful to our health

Not many people know about Green Chemistry. Yet if we had know about Green Chemistry back around 1951‚ when the world began to develop it’s industries - such as farming‚ after World War II we wouldn’t now be battling things such as damage to the ozone layer‚ diseases and harm to the environment‚ caused by chemical pesticides and dumping of chemicals into our oceans and other waterways. Not enough people realise the importance of chemicals and green chemistry in everyday life. Most people think

vehicles release a great amount of pollution into the air which contains carbon monoxide‚ nitrous oxide and gaseous oxide which all cause smog as seen in Los Angeles which unfortunately cause a lot of respiratory health problems and holes in the ozone layer which is the layer that protects us form the harmful rays of the sun which means by these holes being created with all this air pollution we are exposing ourselves to the sun’s harmful rays which can also cause skin cancer. There is also factories

An Exploration of How to Prevent the Effects and Causes of Air Pollution Air pollution has not always been an area of individual problem but has always been a big major of global problem. In fact‚ air pollution is not a new issue to us. When I was in high school‚ I was already interested in doing research about air pollution. I began my search of my issue with the following questions in mind. What causes pollution? What are its effects? What can we do to prevent it‚ and get rid of it? Can

Chemical Report The chemical I will be writing this report on is oxygen. The name oxygen comes from the Greek word “oxygens‚” which means “acid producer”. Dictionary.com defines oxygen as “a colorless‚ odorless‚ gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere and present in a combined state in nature.” Oxygen has many uses today. First‚ oxygen is used by people‚ plants‚ and animals in the respiration process. Tanks of oxygen are used in the healthcare field to treat
